Yeah, and multiprocessor computers, and the software to take advantage of them happened after the "limited commercial success" of BeOS. Does that mean that Be Inc. shaped the industry or that they were the sacrifice goat on the early adopter altar?
This contract evolved so that offspring would be provided for by the 'father' and to contain the spread of venereal disease. Marriage creates a construct that will allow for public shaming for extra-marital affairs as well as legal consequences. As such, marriage is basically pregnancy insurance.
Then one would have to oppose marriage of couples where one or both partners are infertile (due to genetics, illness, injury or age). It would also follow that couples who have not had children yet and become infertile due to illness, injury or age have their privileges revoked.
Oh come on, the upgrade path is GPLv3 not AGLPv3. No one is trying to change all GPL software to AGPLv3, it is given as an option to people who do not want you to run an in-house branch of their software. Besides that whether it's not exactly an EULA as it relies on a rather unorthodox interpretation of public presentation. No reason to criticize it on what it's not, when there is more then enough to go on for what it is.
All sorts of companies produce the exact same hardware and then have a registry bit/flag hidden somewhere to enable the more expensive features. nVidia and their Quadro cards comes to mind... Or Intel and their underclock/overclock crap... the chips are identical, one is stamped with a different number and frozen at a different multiplier.
Because it isn't just likely in this case, it's certain and Microsoft will FUD and/or sue if it advantageous to them. Unknown patents, by unknown parties are... unknown.
I don't want to seem rude, but you should what RMS actually said. Specifically:
The problem is not in the C# implementations, but rather in Tomboy and other applications written in C#. If we lose the use of C#, we will lose them too. That doesn't make them unethical, but it means that writing them and using them is taking a gratuitous risk.
We should systematically arrange to depend on the free C# implementations as little as possible. In other words, we should discourage people from writing programs in C#.
Compaq survived because it wrote its own BIOS instead of copying IBMs.
Only in the most narrow sense of "its own", they did a bug-for-bug clone without actually copying any code. Incidentally that is what Palm seems to have done in this case: they made their hardware behave like Apples without (as far as is known) copying any code from the iPod.
IBM's copyright on its BIOS code did not stifle innovation in the market; it only tripped up a few cheap imitators that were trying to make a quick buck.
Arguable, but besides the point unless Palm directly copied the sync code from the iPod.
Why Palm didn't just add an iTunes connector and clean up the interface is beyond me. It certainly would have required less effort than fighting Apple to use Apple's sync software.
Because they wanted to be first class citizens, not messing with the interface Apple chooses to present to second parties. If they have a bug-for-bug compatible sync then Apple can't change things under them as they need to support their old iPods.
sorry, I missed the step about apple being the developer of samba
Sorry, I missed how it was relevant.
Also, I don't care about the legalities of the situations, I care about interoperability and having the good parts of the free market preserved if we have to deal with the bad one. In that light: fuck Microsoft, Apple and anyone else who uses lock-in to prevent competition.
It really depends on how you look at it. You look at a small business and see people using their capital to earn a living, someone else looks at it and sees people owning their means of production...
Of course the other side of this coin is that poor people have to risk their own butts while rich people get the benefits of those risks while only risking (some of) their money.
Apparently things are more complex then one might think (as usual): the effect is similar even with cold showers and that the water spray crates a vortex in the shower.
It's a small irony that the AK-47, a communist-bloc weapon designed to be the ultimate bargain-basement firearm, was extremely competitive with much more expensive counterparts in the US/NATO arsenal.
Mr. Kalashnikov and Mr. Zaytsev would probably disagree. It was designed in the forties, was it a bargain-basement firearm in the forties?

I think the main point was that it is not found in meteorites. Also, as the AC mentioned, it's part of thermite.
Yep, apparently they found shovel and foot prints as well as rocks that have been dug around and aluminum powder.
Region coding, the lowest of the low end TVs can display both these days.

Indeed, this list is a petition and the purpose is to voice public support.
More importantly, what does inbreeding have to do with bacteria?
I don't think you shouldn't participate in any discussions about evolution until you acquire some elementary biology knowledge.

Arguable, but irrelevant, a netbook is not an embedded platform.
None of that has any relevance to the DMCA...

Your work is the copy on your hard drive. The moment you bring government into this (via copyright law) the matter is not so clear anymore.
Some (but not all) tomatoes and pumpkins are green.

You think the only morality that exists is what is defined by laws? I feel sorry for you.

We are talking about the protections from financial liability other then their investment...

Obviously the only way to build an AI is to carbon copy a human brain... You suffer from an extreme lack of imagination.
Nonetheless JMS managed to pull off a fairly convincing setting with few inconsistencies.
